Question

If Kedro supports unpacking parameters dictionary would it causes more confusion than convinence IMO it is most beneficial if the function is reused multiple time and reduce the need of a thin function wrapper and an extra file maybe I am particular interested with people who use kedro to develop packages <https github com kedro org kedro issues 2749|https github com kedro org kedro issues 2749>

Matthias Roels · Answer

What do you mean with unpack datasets

datajoely · Answer

```node foo inputs= dataset params bar ``` In case you provide an dictionary or iterable here

isn t dataset here a string or a dictionary
